Chapter 1 – The Third
Level
Short question answers
Question 1) What does the third
level refer to?
Answer. The third level refers to an
additional floor at Grand Central Station, which previously had only two
floors. Charley was hallucinating one night on his way home when he reached the
third level.
Question 2) Would Charley ever go back to the ticket
counter on the third level to buy tickets to Galesburg for himself and his
wife?
Answer. Charley looked back for the third
level that could transport him and his wife to Galesburg because he wanted to
return to his history. He wished to return to a world that had not witnessed
two of its deadliest conflicts, which changed everything.
Question 3) Do you think
that the third level was a medium of escape for Charley? Why?
Answer. Yes, Charley used the Grand Central
Station's third level as an escape route. The modern world has many problems,
and in order to escape reality, one may resort to daydreaming or
hallucinations. We are all aware of the hardships of the current world, which
is full of concern and pressure; therefore, in order to lift the burden off his
shoulders and breathe a sigh of relief, Charley resorted to abandoning reality,
albeit accidentally.
Question 4) What do you infer from Sam’s letter to
Charley?
Answer. The manner Charley discovered Sam's
letter was unusual. It was one of those first-day covers that people used to
mail to themselves in the past, with a blank page inside. So, to begin, the
cover contained a letter rather than a blank page. Second, the letter was
written on July 18, 1894, when Sam (the writer) did not exist, as both Sam and
Charley do now. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that it was simply a product
of Charley's imagination.
